I wish I had had NOTES TO NEW MOTHERS when I had my first baby.
I love being a mother, but I was not totally prepared. Not complaining. I’m grateful. But it was a big change! 🤣
I also had the honor of contributing to this incredible book, edited by the brilliant @rebeccadinersteinknight @juliebuntin. I wrote about breastfeeding, specifically logging my feeds in the haze of those early newborn days (which honestly makes no sense, with my second I just fed on demand, and never logged a minute!)—but it helped with my anxiety about the unknown.
I remember when Becky first explained this book to me, too. I didn’t grasp its wonderful chaos and nonlinearity until I saw the first galley. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that there’s no one way to be a mother, and yet something about the experience—however you get there—is deeply changing. We should appreciate this and celebrate it. This book does that without being prescriptive or doctrinarian.
Bonus photo of me 9 months pregnant and happy. And a reminder when I look a little mournfully at my stretched out belly today that it was all worth it.

Got a once-in-a-lifetime chance to spend a day with the 🐐🐐🐐 BRUCE NAUMAN 🐐🐐🐐 and write about in The Talk of the Town for @newyorkermag. 💫 Thank you @okeydokey_konradfischer. What a great show.

Spent a perfect spring day in London with Gwendoline Riley for @nytstyle.
Critics have called her novels “bleak,” “devastating,” and “grotesque” and yet … I was hooked. And so were so many other people I knew. It was important to interview her. Her new novel, The Palm House, came out this month by @nyrbooks Classics. It’s about a young woman named Laura and her friendship with an older man named Edmund. Edmund is quitting his job as deputy editor at a highbrow magazine called Sequence because its new editor wants Sequence to be “the London version of The New Yorker” and whose new motto is “as long as it’s not boring.” She was partly inspired by Penelope Fitzgerald’s novel Offshore, and wanted to show a group of people “a bit under siege.” Laura’s contempt for the new regime is perfectly rendered: new contributors “would creep onto the pages of Sequence with a sort of grotesque mock reverence.” One’s “strained, put-on prose put me to mind of a tiptoeing cartoon burglar.”
Pics on main because it never gets old to open the weekend paper and see your byline. Thank you @maries0lis and @stellabugbee. 📰✨

Seoul, two years ago. Never managed to post these pics I took while on assignment for @travelandleisure covering the city’s deep love for contemporary art during @friezeofficial week.
One of my favorite cities. 10 days barely scratched the surface. Go, go, go.
A highlight was meeting the artist Kim Yun Shin (slide 9) who was enjoying life. She was preparing to show at Frieze Masters in London and had just been in Venice for the Biennale. She had never married. She likes to work with chainsaws and wood. She fled North Korea as a child, grew up making art with sticks and rocks, and later as an adult moved to Paris and Argentina because it was easier to be an artist there. But now, in her 80s she was back in Korea. Her life captured the immense changes Korea has experienced in less than a century.

Wow! I’m so excited to sit down with @belleburden for @margauxny’s next book club at @nineorchard on April 28. To say this book has become a phenomenon is an understatement. I read it in one sitting. And I have SO many questions!
To R.S.V.P., find the link in my bio.

Who knew that when @stpierson and @alexabuckleyroussel, who met at a cab stand at Harvard, and have built the footwear brand @margauxny over the past decade, it would mean one day all of us celebrating Margaux’s arrival in Paris at @lebonmarcherivegauche? Brava. What a week…

When I walked into Jonathan Weiss’s Brooklyn apartment and showroom for @oswaldsmillaudio, I didn’t know what to expect. Speakers? Fine. Whatever. We chatted, had some tea, then he picked out a record, told me to sit down, and slipped out of view after he hit play.
When I tell you it sounded like Muddy Waters himself was strumming his guitar in front of me…
Never have I heard music like that. After the song ended, I was desperate for more. Beethoven. Mahler. (Weiss hosts listening parties for select musicians and other folks.) We ended up talking at length—about sound, Eastern philosophy, why no one listens to music the way we once did, silence, psychedelics, and more. By the time I realized what time it was, the afternoon had slipped away. Anyway, it was one heck of an assignment for @theworldofinteriors. The piece is more about the apartment, which is in a former water meter factory in Dumbo made out of reinforced concrete and filled with objects Weiss has salvaged and collected over the years. But it was a memorable journey into the world of sound. Thank you @emily.k.tobin @ariadne_fletcher.

I had a magical time this past winter at @nakashimawoodworkers profiling Mira Nikashima for @harpersbazaarus. Woodworkers are such gentle souls! And I’m obsessed with a bathroom made entirely by penny round tiles (slide 3). My contractor would have never…
More seriously—Mira Nakashima has done an incredible job continuing the legacy of her father, George Nakashima, who trained as an architect before being incarcerated at a concentration camp during WWII as a Japanese American. When he died, no one was prepared, and Mira’s mother didn’t want anyone to know Mira was taking over. But business slowed down dramatically. Today, folks like @pieter_mulier @juliannemoore @therow Jodi Pollack (all examples of notable people with impeccable taste) collect Nakashima’s work. And Mira’s pieces sell for almost as much as her father’s. She is now 84 and thinking of how to ensure the business lives on once she’s gone. As Mira said to me: “I never thought much about me. I just sort of did what there was to do and tried to do it as well as possible.”
You can read the full story in this month’s issue (or link in bio). Thank you @samiranasr @leahchernikoff for a dream assignment. If you know me, you know I love a good chair.

I recently learned my story for @cntraveler about the art of the handmade in Italy won a gold award with @natjaorg! Sharing some photos from an unforgettable trip.
Thank you to the artisans, tradespeople, and others who welcomed me into your ateliers, restaurants, homes, and more—and for showing me your traditions, some that have existed for centuries. The work you do is essential. And thank you @erin_florio @davidprior.

Shared with the world that I do, in fact, wear denim on airplanes (even on a 24-hour flight to Australia). In good company, too.

The Childs family purchased Coolwater, a large property near a small lake off one of Aaron Burr’s descendants in 1909. They have lived there ever since.
Shortly after moving in, they tapped Alfredo Taylor, one of America’s first starchitects, to renovate the more than 100-year-old colonial farmhouse for more space and better insulation. The grand result revealed Taylor’s signature style—a dense interplay of turrets, Romanesque arches, intricate masonry, and sloping roofs that appeared to sag, conveying a sense of time-worn grandeur.
“America was in its ascendancy,” writes @thessaly, who visited the Childses and their Norfolk, Connecticut compound for CULTURED at Home’s inaugural issue. “Taylor understood how to give a new building an aura of history that appealed to a generation in the early half of the last century who had taken up the project of nation-building.”
The estate—photographed and creative directed by @adriangaut and @akariendogaut for the issue—includes a main house laced with sleeping porches, a monumental Sport House, and a swimming lake. “Like a Roman coin,” it has the kind of dilapidated, covetable patina that only time can conjure (fashion designer @bode occasionally photographs her American sportswear-inspired collections against the faded walls of the Sport House’s fives court). “A single wall, or bookshelf, or reading nook conveys vast annals of time and emotion,” La Force continues. “There is feeling here.”
